Pre-order book and podcast update

Amazon page is up and links to my favorite episodes

Hey there,

So much to update you on since last I wrote. Not the least of which is that you can now pre-order my book “Dungeons ‘n’ Durags.” In exactly one month, on May 17, the book goes on sale. You can check out the Amazon page here.

Current cover design.

Here’s early praise for the book:

“Ron does a masterful job at tackling provocative topics in a way that often feels uncomfortably raw. It’s a hilarious and biting commentary on not only white supremacy ideology, but also points a mirror at Black culture.”
—Lavaille Lavette, president and publisher at Ebony magazine

“Ron’s profound and hilarious journey is like if "Conversations with God" had a baby with "Hollywood Shuffle." And his love for cinema and popular culture makes it a great read for any cinephile and nerds everywhere. This book is tailor-made for anyone who wants to spend a few hours with a really great storyteller.”
—Mishna Wolf, author of I’m Down: A Memoir

“It’s not often you see Black men, or people in general, get this personal when sharing their stories. I appreciated the authenticity and vulnerability Ron shares in his experiences as a black man and how a white-dominated world influenced him and his complicated faith journey. Lastly, as a fan of film trivia, how could I not love all the hilarious cinematic homages?”

—Nichelle Protho, SVP Loud Sis Productions

My favorite podcast episodes

We have over a dozen episodes on the “Dungeons ‘n’ Durags” podcast feed! Here are a few of my faves.

• Ep. 1 - Shit's 'bout 2 Git Real - wherein Ron lays out the premise of the show and his co-hosts, JD & Yolanda, give him flack and are in stitches about him not knowing the term "online" as it relates to Black frats.

• Ep. 2 - Never 2 Late 2B Black - wherein Ron tells the story of how he went from having a very black childhood, to his lily-white adulthood.

• Ep. 3 - Squids, Crabs, and Barrels! Oh my! - wherein Ron embarks to find out how many black people actually know the term "Crabs in a barrel" (apparently, they all do).

• Ep. 4 - Whose Diss? - wherein Ron conducts a "scientific" survey to find the answer to the age-old question: Which diss track is better—"No Vaseline" or "Hit 'em Up"?

• Ep. 5 - Happy Birthday White Jesus - wherein Ron breaks down all the myths of Christmas and looks for a new way to connect with the holiday during his season of deconstruction.

• Ep. 11 - Ron’s Gotta Have It - wherein Ron saves his “Black Card” by finally watching the movie Friday. He has thoughts.

• Ep. 12 - Post Slapocalypse - wherein Ron addresses the “Slap heard ‘round the world” in a way you’d least expect. His own personal fears and demons are shared.

We even have a new promo video!

I just know you all will enjoy this show. I hope you check it out. Get it wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
